xp files & transfer settings problem

Hi,

I had a problem with my PC and I basically had to reformat and then reinstall xp and the other pre-installed software. I used the files and transfer settings wizard to copy my stuff onto the desktop. I then burnt the dat files onto 3 dvds ready to transfer after the computer was reformatted etc.

Anyway, the reformat and reinstallation was all smooth. I opened up the transfer files & settings to copy the old stuff to my new pc. However it keeps coming up with the following: "The location you specified does not contain stored information. Please type a valid path into the edit box.

If you entered a path to a folder on a removable disk, the disk must be in the drive."

I have tried copying the files into the USMT.UNC folder and i have also copied them onto desktop with no folder. It does not even read it off the dvd.

Is there anyway of me accessing my files, music, movies etc using somesort of dat unpacker

Thanks in advance,
